Along the Sentier de la Montagne Pelée, you will hike one of the most iconic volcanoes in the Caribbean. During your climb, you will pass through lush rainforests and rugged volcanic landscapes, with breathtaking views of the island of Martinique, but also of the Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea.

Difficult hike, unmaintained trails, broken steps, lots of climbing and crevasses on the way up.
Very cloudy at the summit despite arriving around 7 a.m.
But very beautiful view of the Caldera Pass.

A very difficult hike; it's astonishing how many people are wearing inadequate footwear. Steep ascents and descents with high steps, often slippery due to the frequent cloud cover. The final section from the third refuge to the summit of "Le Chinois" is only recommended for experienced hikers, as it consists almost entirely of boulders.

It's also advisable to wear long trousers, as you'll frequently be scraping along bushes.

The detour of about 150 meters to the summit cross to the left of the arrival point on the crater rim is a good path, but unfortunately very overgrown. Nevertheless, it's an absolutely worthwhile detour because the cross offers a fantastic view south across the entire island, and you can also look down into the crater.
